Tess

I am passionate about supporting individuals and families through the sacred transition of death, offering compassionate care that respects each person's values and autonomy. I believe a more holistic approach to death and dying is needed and emerging as we reclaim death as a natural and honorable part of life.

My brush with mortality as a newborn started this journey, inspiring me to use art as a means of expression and healing. Alongside my doula work, I create legacy portrait commissions—deeply personal paintings that celebrate and memorialize those transitioning. These portraits can also be co-created with individuals nearing the end of life and their loved ones, fostering connection and therapeutic reflection.

As a devoted space holder, I offer services that include open conversations about death, massage therapy, ceremonial planning, and legacy art. It’s an honor to walk this journey with you.

• Certified End-of-Life Doula, Anam Cara Academy
